Tuesday, Jan 26 2010 - hot little number
View PLATEOFSTARS's food & exercise for this day
So I realized I have one suit that fits and several important meetings in the coming weeks... and I can't wear the SAME suit to all of them.
So I bit the bullet and invested in a dress suit today even knowing I'll only get a few uses out of it as I transition sizes.
It's a little on the snug side (a size 12, but I can still breathe comfortably) so I should be able to wear it for another 15-20 lbs.
It is pretty form fitting which isn't usually my style in the office... but it sure looks great! I'm kind of excited to have a hot little number to wear to work that is still tastefully professional.
I may wear it tomorrow just for the fun of it!

Pictures please!!! I think two suits can get you pretty far, especially if you accessorize them differently and wear different shirts (particularly if the shirts are a noticeable accent color rather than plain white or light blue or something). Maybe get some bold-colored shirts/tanks to wear with them, or some scarves, and change up the shoes and jewelry, and people won't even notice it's the same suit!

If it is cost effective, you could always get it tailored later. My husband dropped 50 lbs. recently and spent a few hundred dollars having a tailor take in a dozen of his suits. Definitely cheaper than the thousands it would have cost to replace them!
